Autoterm Flow 5 Liquid Heater
A Sensa heater controller puts your Autoterm Flow 5D on the Climate tab. The Flow heats your van's water or engine coolant, and Sensa holds it at the temperature you set.
Included in Pro and Vision.
Sensa Connection Method
Network: Wi-Fi.
Installation
The Sensa controller is a small box that plugs in behind the heater's control panel, between the panel and the heater, and takes its power from the heater's own panel cable. Your Autoterm panel stays plugged into the box and keeps working.
Configuration
Join your Wi-Fi
Your controller arrives with its firmware installed. To put it on your van's Wi-Fi:
- On your phone, join the Wi-Fi network named
ss-setup-flow. The password issensasetup. - Pick your van's Wi-Fi network from the list and enter its password.
- Power the controller off and on again. It then joins your network.
Adding to Sensa Nomad
Once it is on your van's network, Sensa finds it on its own. Open Settings, choose the Devices tab, tick it under Discovered and press Add Selected Devices. If it is not there yet, press Scan.
See Adding devices for more.
What you see
A heater card at the top of the Climate tab with a power button and a dial. The dial sets the coolant temperature you want, from 60 to 80 °C, and Now shows the coolant temperature. Run for switches the heater off after the time you choose. Heating explains every control.
Good to know
- Sensa is the thermostat. It stops the heater when the coolant reaches your target and starts it again once it has cooled 10 °C below. That gap is fixed.
- It only goes by the heater's own coolant sensor. You cannot point it at a thermometer elsewhere in the van.
